Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri raised concerns about the investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks, particularly the disputed DNA findings regarding the alleged disappearance and reported death of Sara. He questioned how justice for victims could be achieved while Aruna Jayasekara, who was Eastern Province Commander when an Army team first arrived at the Sainthamaruthu blast site and is now State Minister of Defence, remains in office.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 The Hon. Prime Minister delayed answering the first part of my Question, which caused confusion. My first supplementary: Hon. Prime Minister, you know about the alleged disappearance of Sara. DNA results were disputed; only on the third occasion was information given that she had died, which was also disputed. At that time, the Eastern Province Commander was Major General Aruna Jayasekara. We know an Army team first arrived at the Sainthamaruthu blast site; every commission knows that. The Eastern Commander would know who went. With such persons protected, justice for Easter victims cannot be achieved. How can we accept the inquiry when Mr. Aruna Jayasekara, now the State Minister of Defence, remains in office?
